I would like to add a new CGI program for Mailman, because the existing scripts do not fit my needs. Unfortunately I'm not too familiar with Mailman and this seems to be a bit complicated. So I would appreciate any help.
I recently needed to add a 'list all members' function for our list admins; I elected to modify the python scripts in the Mailman directory:
1. In Mailman/Gui/Membership.py:
I added:
('listall', _('List All')),
to the function GetConfigSubCategories(self, category)This had the effect of adding a new option to the 'Membership Management' section of Mailman, called 'List All' with an internal code of 'listall'.
2. In Mailman/Cgi/admin.py line 488, I changed:
if subcat not in ('list', 'add', 'remove'):
to:
if subcat not in ('list', 'add', 'remove', 'listall'):This had the effect of not defaulting to the wrong thing when the user requests 'listall'.
The rest of it may not help you, as the functionality I needed was already there, I just needed access to it. I changed line 814 from:
if len(all) < chunksz:
to:
if len(all) < chunksz or subcat == 'listall':
Presumably I could have just as well have added an elseif to handle that (as I may well do to make it *just* a list of members and not a form).
